Choosing a name should be a joyful experience, but for many parents, it turns into a source of stress. The outside opinions can weigh heavily, making you second-guess that beautiful name you love.

Today, I want to introduce you to the "Let Them Theory" by Mel Robbins, which might just change your perspective on naming your baby. Remember, before your little one even arrives, their name has already been critiqued by everyone around you.

Stop worrying about whether your choice is too different, too boring, or too trendy. Your baby’s name should reflect joy, love, and your unique vision for them. So lean into what resonates with YOU!

Join in the conversation over on IG - @growlittlewildflower and let's learn to LET THEM together!

The Names That Hadn’t Arrived Yet

Have you ever discovered a name after you’d already named your child and thought…
“Oh wow - where was that name when I was naming?”

In this episode, Michelle explores the idea that naming happens in seasons - and that loving new names later doesn’t mean you missed something or chose wrong!!

This isn’t an episode about changing names or regret in the traditional sense...it’s about discovery, expansion and the names that simply hadn’t arrived into your orbit yet!!

Michelle shares the names she’s grown to love over time, reflects on how naming styles evolve, and reminds you to trust that the right name will always find you when it’s meant to.

A gentle, reassuring listen for anyone in the thick of choosing a name, or looking back with a full heart!

Reflections of 2025 & What’s to Come in 2026

In this episode, I’m sitting with the power of names - the ones that stayed with me throughout 2025, the feelings they carried, and the stories they quietly held.

I share a little more of my author journey, what it meant to see Tiggy True come to life, and why names are never “just” names. They shape identity, hold memory, and travel with us through every season of life - even when the naming process itself feels messy, emotional or uncertain.

As we step into 2026, I’m embracing a softer, more honest way of showing up. No perfection. Just reflection, storytelling, and the deep significance behind the names we love.

I’d love to know - what names are on your heart right now?

✨ Every episode might feel a little different… and that’s part of the magic!!

🎧 Listen in, reflect with me, and let’s keep the conversation going in 2026 xx

This episode is one I’ve been dreaming of for months, and it couldn’t have landed at a more perfect time, with Mother’s Day just around the corner.

I’m joined by two radiant mamas and soul sister besties - Teresa Palmer and Sarah Wright Olsen - for a soulful, joy-filled chat all about the magic and meaning behind baby names. Both are currently expecting (cue the name wonderings!) and in true name obsessed fashion, we go deep into the stories, the signs and the sweet chaos that comes with naming our little loves!

We talk:


🌿 The names they’ve chosen and loved (and the ones that got away)


🌿 Nature and gender-neutral names that spark something beautiful


🌿 The emotional rollercoaster of naming—from pressure to pure intuition


🌿 Why sharing name ideas openly (no gatekeeping here!) is so powerful


🌿 The sweet and hilarious moments when their kids share their fave names

There’s laughter, there’s reflection and there’s so much heart.

Whether you’re deep in the naming journey or just obsessed with baby names like me, this one will leave you feeling inspired, understood, and so not alone.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there - we see you, we celebrate you, and we honour the stories behind every name chosen with love!

Enjoy this episode, I know you will love it! x

I am so excited to share this next chapter of Grow Little Wildflower with you! This season, we are diving into something truly special, the next level in naming as we chat with public figures & celebrities about the story behind the most important names in their lives: their baby’s name!

We all know the thrill when a public figure announces their pregnancy - the speculation begins, the baby name predictions roll in, and when their little one arrives, we wait for that all-important name reveal. But for me, it’s never just been about what name they choose - it’s about why.

I want to know the story. Is it a name with deep family roots? A name they fell in love with the moment they heard it? A name chosen to honour a special place, time, or feeling? Every name holds meaning, and this season, we’re uncovering those personal, heartfelt, and sometimes surprising stories straight from the parents themselves.

Each episode, I’ll be sitting down with a special guest for an intimate, relaxed conversation where we’ll hear about their baby naming journey. And because we all love a little extra name inspiration, I’ll be throwing in some fun, unexpected quick-fire questions about names they love, almost chose, or would pick in another lifetime!

I cannot wait for you to hear these conversations, to celebrate the beauty and depth behind a name, and to explore the magic of naming through the eyes of those we admire.

So, let’s get started - because every name has a story, and I’m so excited to share them with you!!

I will be throwing in some bonus episodes too filled with name advice and inspiration...lots to come!

Stay tuned for our very first celeb and if you have anyone in mind that you would love me to interview - send a DM on IG @growlittlewildflower or email me growlittlewildflowers@gmail.com and we will do our best to invite them on the show!!

Your host,

Michelle x
